#All Things Problematic

[thisismisogynoir]

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

#was going to make a post about how much i hate that women aren't allowed to hate their oppressors but i decided to spin it into something #positive instead #this is supposed to be the feminist site that makes reddit mgtow piss their baby diapers so let's go back to despising men and not coddling #their feelings and let's dye our hair blue while we're at it #i am so tired of this new wave of guilt-tripping and gaslighting women who hate men and don't trust or want to be around them #i hate how we're made into villainesses or the problematic ones for not valuing them in our lives or for wanting to guard ourselves or be #safe from our oppressors #and i'm tired of people who don't know the first thing about feminism being like 'BUT THAT'S TERF RHETORIC WHAT ABOUT X MINORITY MEN' #guess what women can also be x minority that you're trying to protect the men of and we get to hate men too #trans women are included when i say women btw and trans men are included when i say men #if anyone has the right to hate men more than anybody else it's trans women esp trans lesbians because they put up with so much shit #from men that even cis women do not and they especially know how vile men are behind closed doors #so #terfs fuck off #radfems fuck off #and if anybody tries to make this post more appeasing to men or 'not all men's this post you are getting blocked and hit with a hammer #feminism #misogyny #sexism #patriarchy #tw men #tw rape #tw abuse #misandry #terfs dni #radfems dni #feminists need to go back to being scary and unpalatable for men none of this 'but some of them are good!' bullshit #men are entitled to nothing from us #and if you try to prove me wrong then you are just proving my point if you have nothing good to say then simply keep scrolling #ok? ok.

as my good friend and i like to remind each other:

don't yuck people's yum. if you do so, at least keep it in the dms. no point in making people feel absolutely miserable for liking a certain thing, for having an oc you don't like - whatever it is. people constantly hating just for the sake of hating truly sour the fandom experience on social medias. there's a problem if the only way you feel better is by making others feel like crap.

and you, who shares the things you love online, who creates original characters and talks about their ships - know that you will never be able to please everyone and that's okay. don't let it stop you from sharing what you love, if it brings you happiness then keep doing it. you don't owe anyone anything, if what you like somehow upsets people, they can very easily just block you and move on. it's really that simple!

#em: txt #if we're calling out people for being racist or having VERY problematic opinions and shit then yeah by all means #but lord... just because you don't like someone's oc design; ship concept or opinion on a video game cutscene #doesn't mean you should be an asshole about it #this is something i've encountered in every fandom i've been in so far #i wish “block” wasn't perceived as this truly terrible and malicious thing - i honestly just see it as a space curating tool

[talesfromthecrypts]

“This horror book is problematic” “horror movie has a problematic scene” this cannot be how we talk about horror I refuse to let people have this be how horror is talked about

Ask yourself some questions: Is the scene/relationship/theme supposed to be horrifying? Where does the horror come from in the story? Who’s point of view is the story from? Is the thing you are vaguely calling “problematic” part of the horror or is it genuinely something that should be critiqued? Why are you personally picking up this horror story? Can you personally handle it if every story isn’t a morality play?

#‘problematic’ going on the shelf this October #there are things to critique but some of you can’t handle horror themes #and you certainly have to stop saying horror authors have done bad things just cause of what they write #(directors and the like you know all of them)

i truly thought it couldn't get more insane than the last snyder interview segment i posted but he's proven me wrong once again. what the actual fuck

(source)

#if he was trying to make it a no homo thing with the whole “people mistake it for literal love” he failed MISERABLY #bc like. “it transcends the kind of definition for love that we have” #“religious and unequaled kind of devotion to someone else where you'll do anything it takes to make them a better version of themselves” #“he loves living in service of batman that way he loves being the thing that he thinks the city has made him into for batman” #yeah it would've been significantly LESS homoerotic to just say “joker wants batman to fuck him raw” #also. “i am the crazy girlfriend you love the most” #SNYDER. YOU CANT JSUT FUCKKIGN #AUAUUUUUUUU #i know this has some problematic implications all of dotf and endgame do lmfao but like. bro #batjokes #snyder you're going to be the fucking death of me #i have. a bunch of interview snippets i'm saving for. a bigger post #but this one and the last one were just. too fucking crazy #couldn't resist

Why is the spiciest, vilest, sinisterest take on Horror him being a cannibal. Girl that’s NOT his toxic trait. He’s so much worse.

#I feel like every time I’ve seen him written more villainous it includes cannibalism. but they never explain it. #I’m gonna need a pretty clear explanation of how the Horror I know from the comics would resort to it before it could begin to work #and it COULD work is the thing!! but it just never does #it’s all about how much effort u put in for what’s a HUGE deal for his character vs how choosing to write this at all is usually a shortcut #I’m not articulate rn so I might return to this post when my brain works #utmv #horror sans #horrortale #let him be selfish and controlling and delusional about his moral standing #let him be problematic cuz he’s an asshole in the highest degree not cuz he hate a human. at least that will be in character.

I do wonder why "daddy" of all things would catch on as The Thing to call your partner. Who started that. Why did it spread so far.

#Also the fact that the word daddy implies ownership is problematic for so many reasons #Honestly jokes are literally the fastest way for things to become normal #I'm sure all of it started as a big joke and then transformed into this #But still. Why daddy lmao #I mean fuck #I'd take master over daddy

you want to analyze a cartoon that is something children can watch? ok here's the first and most important lesson ever.

have you ever heard of "suspension of disbelief?"

ok. next step. do you know what an unreliable narrator is and can you separate the character's perspective and opinions from the writers? because i promise you that the beliefs of the main character do not always reflect the writers and the point of analyzing media is to dissect that.

#like guys sometimes the silly jokes in the cartoon are JUST silly jokes you gotta let them be silly jokes #sometimes the shenanigans are super outlandish because it's a FICTIONAL CARTOON where sentient AIs and magic exist #i promise you. I PROMISE YOU that rottmnt's mind meld was not some elaborate problematic take on eugenics of all things #<- an actual thing i read with my own eyes #like i promise you that is literally not what the episode was doing #'they kept saying they made his brothers smarter which is incredibly ableist because it implies they weren't smart before' #ahem. it was donnie's idea of smarter #you know donnie. the one who constantly puts his intelligence on a pedestal to boost his ego #it was HIS definition of smarter and that is not the narratives definition #i think the series makes that abundantly clear with how much they make fun of donnie for whatever superiority complex he's got going on #and (in the nicest way possible) if you watch the episode it's not actually that they're getting 'smarter' what is actually happening #is that they are beginning to act more and more like donnie personality wise #and that the conflict starts with donnie feeling like they don't fully understand him. #and since donnie is a flawed character his way of coping with that is by being like 'well clearly they're inferior to my intelligence!' #(which .. if you really dissect his character is not actually what he means he just doesn't know how to constructively word his feelings)

Have to say the flattening of Julia Serano's fairly nuanced views on gender into a nebulous "gender essentialism" by a lot of trans people (who tend to fit a very specific ideological category) is extremely transparent transmisogyny

#it makes me so mad #like it's so obvious the people making these claims approached her work w the sole intention of picking apart every word for #potentially problematic material and do not at all look at what she's saying as worth listening to and analyzing in it's entirety #and she talks abt behavior like this!! #trans women are subjected to incredible scrutiny for things that would be inconsequential if someone else said them

[triaelf9]

sees a post that's like "LOOK, LOOK AT ME I HAVE TERRIBLE MEDIA LITERACY LOOOOK AHAHA ISN'T THAT FUNNY"

Checks bio

"I'm 21"

Ah, yes. You're in the age group to have been hit by the resurgence of purity culture. I'm so sorry.

#nuance is lost on them #9 times out of 10 it's this #I'm so crushed that a whole generation of queer younglings got poisoned #all you have to do is be mature enough to look at a piece of media and say “this isn't my jam” #and not be like IT'S BAD B/C THIS IS PRoBlEmATIC REP or whatevs #maybe something didn't speak to you #but it's okay #if the non queer crowd can have garbage reality TV and shitty dramas #we can have garbage too #just don't watch it if you don't like it #There are a few things out there right now that I can look at and say“eh” #I see what it's doing and that's great for it #but it's not up my alley #and I move on and create what I want to see out there #my tags are longer than my post LOL #to be clear this is not scorn #this is genuine disappointment and sadness

[aborddelimpala]

hey really don't know what is mean proship. can you explain to me? thx 😊🙏

Sure thing hun' 😊

Being "proship" means I accept any pairing in fiction. I don't care what people ship and if a ship irks me or makes me uncomfortable, I just stay away from it.

I think shipping is fun and if you enjoy two characters being together together, go for it. Who am I to tell you you shouldn't ship it ?????

Ship and let ship 😉

#shipping culture #there is no such thing as problematic ship #this is all fictionnal #and for fun

[intotheelliwoods]

AH for real! Hell theres friends I know who are scared to even post their cool stuff to begin with- its so sad that a community was created where a good chunk of the artists are too scared to even make their work public :( (or even announce a patreon for it)

Ha it also took more guts than I would like to admit to make that last post, but hey look! FMA meme redraw!

I have no worries of hate though, after all I am just posting for myself and my friends! Whom would love to help me fight my battles o7

---

Yeah ofc!! <3 Dont expect any hate or judgement from me alright??

#asks #also I see some people in tags going “yeah as long as its not [this specific thing] then its ok!” #no #nono #no the post definitely includes [that specific thing] regardless of your personal experiences and triggers #it includes everything #no I dont care how 'problematic' #its only 'problematic' if its not tagged correctly #(those tags were on gems earlier post ^) #also also #to those worried “OH NO ELL IS GOING TO RB TCEST AT ANY MOMENT” no im not. #shipping isnt my thing #all that shit isnt my thing but thats alright I can and will ignore it

And remember kids: When someone is really involved in fandom discourse, it means they have nothing going on in their life

#do you ever see the most non issue thing people are fighting for on twitter and think #does this person have a job. a hobby even. friends perhaps. do they know theres a war going on #its really interesting when irl stuff starts getting exciting and you realize that #things that people would die for online do not matter at all. #real people truly. really. do not care if your favorite fire emblem character is problematic #experience normal society

[ginger-canary]

The Bon Frères are actually the true naddpod poor little meow meows

#they are all so problematic and cringe fail it’s hilarious #naddpod #hot boy summer #mavrus the unskooled #Mac son of Mumford #hungry Dave #tred nevers #the Mavrus chronicles #freckles says things

it's so fun to write a fic for a well-known and loved ship. because you will walk inside this fic thinking "oh how bad can it be. eventually they'll kiss and it'll be okay." but then you realize the author is a bastard. and take max damage every time the said characters kiss.

i'm talking about this fic of mine btw

#oooohhh to ship two characters so bad only to see them in a setting where them being with each other is more destructive than anything #yes this is about skk #no im not saying they are fundamentally problematic #they are doomed in my fic that's all #it's funny because i've had people ask if there's gonna be a happy ending for this #because they can't handle sad endings #and i'm like. yes! they will have a very happy ending! #but ooohhh boy the things they will go through to get to that point. #this fic is like. 70% doomed yaoi #you WILL scream NO!! DON'T!! NOT AGAIN!! everytime they kiss #and i WILL laugh #oh man this is so much fun #bsd #skk #fic rec #bsd fanfic #soukouku #dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya #navarasam
